Reader comments on Junebug

I'm completely in sync with our reviewer on this film. The screenplay allows it's characters to be petty AND tender. Who hasn't suffered along in a tension filled room with their families less than flattering attitudes, outbursts or hostilities? Amy Adams is near perfect and her wide eyed wonderment at her new sister-in-law's exotic life story is something to be cherished. The after church service singing request could have gone flat or syrupy, but is carried out beautifully. I have recommended this little gem to a few friends from the deep South, and all loved it.
